In the past, I generally put my veggies in a foil pan & heated on the grill...anxious to try the direct grilling methods shown here...also, never thought about a marinade so now I know to do that as well.

I didn't think I would learn anything new, but did. I typically grill zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and peppers. I now plan to try mushrooms and zucchini. I like the idea of pre-boiling root vegetables and then grilling them, so they get that grill flavor too. I think the corn with the butter wrapped in foil would be good too. I have only soaked corn and grilled it in the husk, which I still found to be a tad dry. This technique may be the trick.
